Hello! Im going to talk about my favorite piece of technology: my old Cassette-corder Sony Clear Voice. 


Is a cassette  player/recorder, it was from my mom, she used to work as a journalist in the 80's and the early 90's,  and she recorded the interviews with this little and useful machine. 

I found it in a box with old stuff when I was a little child, I used to listen to old punk cassettes and a lot of unknown chilean underground bands. I listened to "Los Jorobados", "Supersordo", "Pog", even "Los Fiscales Had-ok"; it was awesome to have all those cassettes.

I start stealing the cassettes from my Grandmas house, I still one of Juan Gabriel and other of Camilo Sesto. I used to listen music with the cassette, but somethimes when I have a virgin Cassette y recorded stuff, I spend hours recording,  it was like playing with the sounds.  

I stoped using it when I become a bit older, In the Higschool I used a MP3 and I slowly forgot about the Sony Clear Voice. 

It stays in the dark until I was in second year of University. I found it and start using it in the new music I was making, I even recorded a EP whith the old Sony (it obviusly sounds very lo-fi and with a los of noise, but I love the electric sound it gives to the acustic guitar and the tone it gaves to the voice.

the other day it broke, I was very sad, because is a loved toy, Finally I fix it and feel much better.

A movie that I love A movie that I love is Coppola's "Rumble Fish", I really love that movie;  all the daydream aesthetics on it  work so good. To me, watch the movie is like a sensorial experience, but thats not the only reason because I love the movie.  In my own biography "Rumble Fish" has a lot of significations, is weird, but my mom and my uncles create a kind of simbolism around the movie. They see themselves in the movie characters.  The Motorcycle Boy  is the older brother ( who died two years ago, so you can imagine all the emotions around the movie),  Rusty James  is my younger uncle, he is very very similar to the character in a physical and in a mental way. That's why I love the movie, I could talk about it all day because is a beautiful movie whit a lot of meanings for me.  "A movie that I hate" is a hard question, I think a intentionally  forget about the bad movies, not forget like a erase in my mind...
       EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY Sebastian and Luciano, March 2017.   I'm going to write about a the story behind this picture. I like this picture because it was taken at the end of the summer of the 2017, I was visiting my friend  Sebastian,  we  meet in the  neighbourhood  years back and we are friends since we were 13 yearls old. He leaves Santiago  to study in Buenos Aires, and the summer of the 2017 we made a road trip making auto-stop  from Santiago to Buenos Aires. We stay one week the place he rents in Buenos Aires and then we continue traveling to Uruguay. We travel a lot,  we know a lot of places and people, it was great , always  making auto-stop and making  the money  last the most possible. We arrive to a carnival in Uruguay, those were very crazy days, drinking and smoking a lot, and visiting beautiful beaches. We have a lot of adventures, we make great friends ...
My  opinion about the use of blogs in the English class I think is a very useful tool to us to lear English, and try to express ourselves  by writting is a big challenge, sometimes I think in something to say or write about, but I don't know the words, so I start to look aways to say it, and that means I start learning vocabulary and new expresions or another ways to say what I mean. Another thing I like about using the blog in English class is the topics that you propose, I really enjoyed writing about an important picture ("every picture tells a story") or writting about the cinematic potencial of Santiago city ("Santiago from my study program's point of view") and another topics. It makes me look for information or think about things I didn't write about before.
